I just watched that race live for free. Next up, Barcia versus Herlings...i hope Bam Bam parks him into the cheap seats
ronnie how did you watch it free?
I am getting it for free because I got screwed out of the Shirt I payed for last year because they ran out of them. So to make up for it they gave me this years race for free!!

pmsl......best step up boys!!!! germany looking good belgium looking good....but the worst bit....euromikes dream team....killing it!!!.....his gona rape this site!!!lol
They going to have MX3 live too?
starting right now...someone is streaming the mx life tv stuff live for free!!
Thanks for the link RB. Here I thought it was my computer or the connection all along, but I'm getting a great picture off a pirated signal, and the picture blows away what I've been seeing during the nationals all year. Hmmmmm.
Yeah it was posted on vitalmx. Enjoy!
Herlings 106 second lead over Barcia so far
Barcia augered into a fence and lost over a minute to Herlings, but he was only a second down at the time. He was hauling ass and hopefully he's pissed off now.
@ronniebarnhardt
Thanks
Hopefully bambam's little adventure getting stuck and then through the fans will light the spark he needs for tomorrow. He is clearly riding better now than at the beginning of the moto but him getting the holeshot, rundown, and passed has been the story all summer.
Herlings was pulling on Barcia when Barcia crashed, IT shouldn't count as outside assistance for barcia since nobody touched the bike or entered the track
Herlings was definitely spanking Barcia when he went off but Dycker caught Herlings so you never know how it would have played out. But, in the end, it doesn't matter. Tomorrow is what matters and all the races should be good! Roczen looked incredible. I'm assuming the races will be longer tomorrow and the euros will get treated to watching Baggett drop the hammer in the second half.
herlings bike was way off on suspension, he slowed down to not crash

.Herlings
.Dycker -:02
.Leol -:28
Anstie- :46
Guarneri -1:11
Barcia -1:22
.Herlings best 1:52:7
. JB 1:54:2
.JB looked very good other then going off the track, got stuck for a long time.
Roger needs to get to Barcia and make sure he understands he isn't going to beat Herlings head to head and settle for just keeping him in sight. If he does that, he'll take a real good finish. He almost impaled himself trying to get back onto the track and that would have ended any chance the U.S. has. As it is one main competitor is supposed to be Schiffer and he still caught up and beat him after that disaster.
Herlings will take AT LEAST one moto with a decent start, so keeping him in sight is a good thing.
@ronniebarnhardt THANX !!
Barcia Barcia.....oops...
So close.
Great effort and recovery. A regular kid woulda god a dnf
US OA was 6 for the day on practice/quali?
B-KR...I think Roger will say that to BAMBAM but it will go in one ear and out the other. Barcia is a racer and when he is on the track he wants to beat everyone there one of the things I love about him but hopefully it doesn't cost us.
note to Barcia, Dungey an Bagget:
try NOT to follow the Sandmaster Herlings
or you will end up in the fence!!!
let him go and play as a Team
He was riding great though.....just gotta keep the big picture in mind. I wonder what was up with DeDyker almost catching Herlings towards the end. I was shocked he was only 7 seconds back, but then he pulled right up on his back wheel! Gonna be awesome to see it all play out for real tomorrow!
now maybe you guys understand the hype???? and the dream team went 1 1 1 ....
we 2nd rate euros warned you guys the track was nasty and we warned you herlins was stupid fast.... i hope for team usa that bam bam is told to let him go as he was riding well till he got past...
tracks still quite smooth.....
Barcia for sure needs to calm down, He was going very good, For sure the 2nd best by far in MX3 and thats all we need out of him, Cores I think track posion ia all that mattes not class posion. if we get top 4 every moto we got it.
herlins slowed down....wasnt happy with his forks....he had done the important bit
2mo he wont slow down....
Most of us knew herlings was fast in the sand but has no teammates so who cares if he wins my a min?? does not matter for the over all.
How do you know Herlings suspension was way off? How do you know Dycker's or anyone else's suspension wasn't? If Herlings is this track's master shouldn't he have his suspension setup pretty dialed in?
Barcia will be right there with Herlings tomorrow, and dont forget, Herlings has to race Cairolli and Dungey too. Also, the motos are alot longer tomorrow. Go USA!!
i agree billc ur boys need to forget trying to dominate....3 top 5s to get the cup.
germany and belgium are your problems
his bike wasnt quite right.....you could see it wasnt....and it was the 1st thing he said to his team when he got off the bike...
Herling rode in to the start fance and rode from dead last to first with bike problems and that will not happens tomorow and don t forget Coldenhof from the netherlands rode the hole Qualifying mx2 in third place in front of bagget but went down with 2 laps to go and that won t happen tomorow ether he finischt in 6e place and the reuver with problems finischt 7e so tomorrow it only get better for the nethelands
Herlings is the Sand man you all said now you say his bike was not set up right?? he should know what he is doing with bike set up no??
confirmed....JB dnq for outside help!! .......
why is everyone bringing up baria getting DQ'd ? unless he got a better place than dungey they were gonna toss his score anyways they only keep the 2 best scores and they both got 6th so its a no brainer didnt change anything

Hauling ass? Not really. Herlings was stone last out of turn one after making contact with another rider and nearly falling. End of lap one, 11th. (-12 seconds) End of lap 2, 4th. (-8 seconds) End of lap 3, 2nd (-4seconds) end of lap 4, 1st + 2, and then Barcia visits the fence. You call that hauling ass?
Not hard to see why Baggett won the 250 title this year. He´s a class act in sand. And that coming from euromike, is praise indeed.
billc....wether his bike was or wasnt right....ya boy holeshot pulled a big lead and then got gobbled up from a kid u all said bam bam would beat!!....and if you watched the race and i think u did....herlins was miles back!!
bam bam got rattled...tryed to stick it up herlins inside all armes n legs then bam bamed in2 a fence!!!.....
JB ant a clever guy!! the rate he was court he should of just let him go!!
i hope they leave track alone....its gona get ruff!!!
its crazy because bagget is the only one who said he doesnt like the sand or that its not his best surface to ride on something like that but he's lookin pretty good
euromike....the dream team looking good....clean sweep!!
anyone know what the time between the two mx3 races are?
well here in uk 1st moto is 12pm 2nd moto 1.30pm and 3rd moto 3pm so half hr between motos
britisharmpump ..I NEVER said JB would beat herlings, NEVER. I said let him go who cares, We want the over all win not moto wins. herlings is crazy fast in the sand and I have never said otherwise.

Sure are BAP, still, the real deal is tomorrow and going on what I saw today, King Tony will cruise to two easy wins.
Herlings might have won, but he doesn´t look comfortable on the 350, and would have been quicker on his 250 IMO.
I expect the yanks to up their game tomorrow, so they could get a podium with a bit of luck. Germany and Belgium are looking really good.
USA will win again tomorrow, they they don't need to win the motos to get the Trophy, it's enough to get podiums.

Wow, I´ve heard of the soft shoe shuffle, and the tripping two step, but the quick step back peddle seems to be the favoured hillbilly dance around here.
Swallow hard and take it like a man billC, things can only get better. Or then, maybe not. LOL.
so in MX3 they are saying barcia is dq'd.......
I would rather see Barcia race and going for it and crash then to see him trail riding around getting smoked. Oh yeah euromike, I better get that black crow sauce ready. LOL
Just watched it. The no-BS version is USA will just have to focus on team points and forget about Herlings. The straight truth is he is just plain WAAY faster than anybody in the sand. Full Stop. Anything else is simply delusional. Not accepting that leads to what Barcia did.
pmsl.....over the last 2 months i reckon most of the usa guys here have stated...that us 2nd rate euros would get smashed...the great RD would bash BB would bash and JB would bam bam !!! lol
well RD got dropped way before he screwed his goggles
BB well he rode smart but never found the 3 odd secs he would need...
JB he just made us all laugh!!!
can USA relie on 3 top 5s???
they will have to as a team ride very smart....theres 2 other teams ready to bite!!
1 thing for shore USA will not dominate..as u all but afew said u would!!
TC222 a 2nd rate champ???
Kroc back home and kills BB......just goes to show that making big life style changes has big effects.
did anyone notice that euromike and britisharmpump are feeling somewhat euphoric at the moment LOL. Get the feeling though that come tomorrow, team USA will get the job done as usual.
elsinoreracer...well done mate... ur the 1st guy to except what us silly euros were saying.....fairplay....
dont 2get i am not a herlins fan he beat my man searle to a championship and i gutted lol
but now u see and now u can wounder with me!! were the hell is he finding the time!!!!
just watched it. Not sure why Barcia was DQ'd. Sun did help but all he did was pull on the front tire one time and then lifted a banner so that he could go under it and get back on the track. He did a big flying W trying to get back on track and almost threw it away again. He was big time hauling at the end of the race though. Like has already been said the DQ wont matter in the overall anyway
This is SCARY bcoz JEreemy Van Horebbeek LOL coolest name in mX almost got lapped by Herlings and he is 2nd here
klrman no im just messin lets face it if USA win 2mo....you will ripp us!!!
so just geting it in while we can lol....
im just joking around.....there were afew on here that wouldnt have it that herlins does sand abit different!!
and anyway lol check my dam team!!! lol searle 10th nichols5th anstie 4th....i was hopeing for a better result from tommy but he got smoked!!!
man have we some work 2do!!!! pmsl
Do you really think Dungey was gonna push it when he doesnt have to? You are all forgetting he is SMART and thats why he is one of the best riders in the world. Lets see what happens when the motos are longer than a 20 min amateur moto and the Euros have to keep pace with the Americans for a full 35 minutes. I do think Cairolli is a bad ass who never runs his mouth, just lets his riding do the talking, kinda like Dungey. Roczen looked good but remember what happened all summer in the U.S. at the end of motos. And yes Herlings is obviously fast but anything can happen and both Herlings and Barcia can come back from a bad start or crash so I think MX3 is gonna be a wash and its gonna depend on how well Dungey and Baggett do. But I still hope Barcia cleans out Jeffrey "his arrogance makes we want to Hurl"ings. GO USA!!!!!
Any idea why the delay in posting MX3 results?
I guess those KTM 350's aren't to slow are they?
@jeramey the MX2 class has the least amount of Talent only the top 5 are any good(for a win), you have the GP MX2 to champ riding MX3. The MX1 and MX3 fields are deep through 7-8 place
@ronniebarnhardt
I don't think anyone is concerned with Dungey most know that he has 3 MXdN titles and understands what needs to be done to bring home the title, I think most are concerned with Barcia Crashing out. Will he mature enough in a day to realize that you need to finish a race to win the race?

Manes, I vividly recall you and a few others on here saying that if that Canadian Scottish fella won the 250 title last year without winning a race, his championship wouldn´t be worth squat. Luckily Deano did score a couple right there at the end of the season, so that shut all of you up.
Now, all of a sudden, it doesn´t matter if team USA don´t win a moto, as long as they take the overall. What´s the difference? Will you really feel the cup was won by the right continent just because you could field 3 riders who were more consistent than a fragmented opposition, after crowing long and loud how the USA had the meanest, badest, and fastest dirt bike riders in the world? Somehow, like me, I believe you will see that as a hollow victory.
We both know there is more on the line here than just a cup victory. You want the world to believe you guys are untouchable. Fair enough, but we also want to show you the Euro´s are your match individually, even if we feel the MXON format is a loaded dice in favour of the USA. But let´s not get into that.
What a pity there isn´t a single series for the title of WORLD champion, where AMA and GP riders do battle all over the world for the honour of being crowned, the very best in our great sport. Maybe someday it will happen.
ronniebarnhardt...take you dont think JB can beat herlins fair and square???
shorly thats the best way to end herlins best sand rider title???
he believes he is the best sand rider ever!!! he needs to be beaten heads up...taking him out well he will just say he cheated!!!
dont you wana see a race??? if bam bam beat him fair then there would be no come back!!!
his never lost a pro race in sand never....
he needs to be beaten not wiped out!! lol
DID u guys see how Barcia got back on track. I have new respect for BAM BAM. Man that was bravery.
Such nonsense from the euro crowd. Everyone over here knows how good Herlings is in the sand but what did KTM do, lose his settings that he uses normally? HA ha and HA on that one. He slowed down to allow someone to finish right on his behind for what purpose? I will repeat, Herlings should win at least one moto and maybe the overall but this is a team competition. Something that is always lost on the GP boys because there isn't a single country with a decent shot of winning as a team without a US disaster. Thus they shoot for individual accomplishments and hope the US has bad luck in more than one moto. I expected Herlings to win by A LOT more in a 20+2 race. That is why he was bummed out, but of course he will blame the settings.....where have we ALL heard that one before (countless times over)? A little cheese with your whine sir?
@britisharmpump
Some of us americans are infatuated with GP racing, maybes its my euro roots IDK. But My predictions for MX1 have never changed tomorrow will be Cairoli, Dungey, MX2 (in class)Roczen, then Baggett 4, I originally thought Baggett would throw away a moto, but I think he rode smart and respects the soft stuff. MX3 Herlings, Barcia, I had Pourcel 2nd before he was replaced by Moog, I think Barcia is an unfortunate wild card and that he will probably score a solid 2nd in his first moto and then throw it away in the last moto trying to beat herlings, while depending on Dungey to come home in a solid finish to secure the Title
It doesnt matter who wins or loses, the losing side will have excuses and the winning side will be all smiles. Either way it should be an epic MXoN.
Just like Villapoto beating everyone at Budds Creek, Herlings SHOULD beat everyone here, but it sure would be fun to watch him get beat and stop all the "greatest sand rider ever" talk. Speaking of Villapoto, what do you think he would do to the rest of the field on this track? Would be a good race between him and European Sand Goat.
B-KR abit like the mighty RD cant work his tearoffs lol...why u all back tracking!!! the laptimes in all 3 races said it all!!! you guys said ur team would smoke us u would win races!!! kick arse
now your fighting talk is play safe ride smart each make top 4 pmsl!!!!
sounds like you guys dont wana say it....that sentence...its ok....you dont have to....we already know!!
you wont win motos!!!
4 Euromike: that's the rule dude. Anyway Barcia is impressive, I am pretty sure that, with some practice, he will be almost as fast as Herlings, still Herlings is unbeatable, if he gets a good start he will check out tomorrow.
Being Italian I hope Cairoli will put his bad luck aside, but against with Herlings there is nothing he can. Guarneri will be good but Lupino is so slow.
Germany has a good shot, but Schiffer is the weak man. I think it will be among USA, Germany and Belgium, with Holland a possible threat.
The last moto will be the toughest race of the year for sure, the track will be at its very worse.
Who the f&%k is backing down? It was qualifying, tomorrow is the real racing and we will dominate.
I just have this feeling that tomorrow we'll see Cairoli yard-sale off the start or Herlings break something on the bike...or both....and all we'll hear about is the what-if's and yeah-but's that come with such things. Much like Pourcel rode the wheels off his bike last year (literally) and DNF'd, it only creates the idea that your guy didn't really get "beat" in your minds. As if you keep that in mind when Dungey rides a whole moto with no goggles on in the sand and you crow about how he got his ass handed to him in QUALIFYING. I wonder what has a greater impact, wrong settings or no goggles? I love that wrong settings angle though.....always a huge impact on a sand track. Roger D must have hacked into the GP KTM 'puters and changed their data around to F with them. Too much. I do recall Euromike claiming Schiffer was rumoured to be 5 seconds a lap faster than Barcia though, which wouod explain why Barcia still caught him after his run-in with the fences. Guess that rumour has been put to bed.
LMFAO at Schiffer...maybe top 20 in the US...maybe!
RV he would ride that track sweet!!
i still think USA will win i always have....i always said they would not have it all there own way...
it will be tight 2mo...lady luck will play her role...belguim n germany...are good for this also...
BB rode the best out of your team....smooth and smart...i can see how he took the title....
herlins settings thing....hey how the fuk do i know!! the kid still won!!...maybe he went with settings from his 250f and dont suit the 350?? maybe he blew a seal leaked over brake or maybe he got tired slowed down....
cant see him getting tired...mayb the 35o gave him pump!!!
either way he went from last 2 1st in 20mins and his biggest threat holeshot
BritAP: I never once said the US would win motos, as I recognize how good both Herlings and Cairoli are......in sand. But, I will not be shocked if Dungey wins a moto, or Barcia.....or even Baggett. 20+2 is not the same as the full racing tomorrow and once again....this is QUALIFYING. It cannot be won today....but it could be lost today. A US injury today would have ended it. So I would expect that none of the US guys were going ballzout....and I would not expect any of them to go ballzout tomorrow unless behind early and needing a miracle ride. They are the only team that has to think from a cautious standpoint to avoid losing, while other teams must go all out hoping to win. Anyone saying the US riders would smoke them all every moto have no idea what it what and do not deserve a response. So please do not lump me in with that. In fact, I don't recall seeing your name here before, so who were you posting as previously?
so can someone explain to me what Barcia's DQ means? Can he not race in the final? Or does he get last gate pick? That would stink if he couldn't race at all in the final.
Man after watching Tomac tear it up at Southwick this year, I kinda wish he was riding for team USA. I bet you when he gets on a 450 he will be the fastest sand rider in the world.
best 2 of 3 scores count it means nothing mathes confirmed this on twitter
MotoFox: as Jeramey said it means nothing. All everyone was doing today was trying to get their team into the main event that counts. If Barcia got 2nd, they would have dropped Dungey's 6th and I guess had a better gate pick with the better finish. Since they both got 6th anyway, it changes nothing either way.
motofoxhead311...just means his score didnt count...so means nothing!! they would of chucked his score anyway...
have the answer to herlins settings....he said he got armpump bad as the bike set up was wrong....he also said he dont have a plan b on setup!!!
B-KR i post on here quite abit....but i read what gets said everyday...
as a rule i stay out of the BS but sometimes ill say my little bit....
mayb you wasnt 1 of the guys slateing euro riders ect.... if u wasnt ill say sorry..
nothing i say is personal attack just mx banter
Barcias DQ does not mean anything as it was a throw away ride and the USA will have 6th gate pick tomorrow. Only the best 2 rides counted today just like only 5 of the best rides count tomorrow.
A lot of what is happening here reminds me of JS7 fans during the time between qualifying (after he "wins" practice) and the time the main event ends. Someone check out how many times RV was top qualifier compared to how many times he won the main a few hours later. He learned a little lesson from that time he failed to qualify realizing the idea is to qualify, not win before the race starts.
I just read some of Herlings twitter posts and damn, how can you not like that kid. Tells it like it is and doesnt care what people think. I wish we had some American riders that would not put on an act every time they get in front of a camera.
I still think the USA will win tomrrow but I hope one of the riders can at least get one 2nd in a moto. Who wants to win getting 3rds or by someone having bad luck. This is team USA and if we do in fact have the best riders in the world one should be able to accomplish this on any surface. The fact is the track is long sweeping turns with kids table top jumps but it does get rough. I think our boys will step up tomorrow and if not leave them in Belgium for a couple months to practice. I will have to admit that Herlings is a comet in the sand no doubt about it.
B-KR has got it right. I hope the racing is good tomorrow and would like for USA to bring home the gold yet again but it doesn't really matter. American Motocross is the premiere level of the sport for the world and that clearly bothers some Europeans so much that they look for any and every excuse to come on to an American site and talk the way they do.

Enjoy!
Let me get this straight: Barcia holeshot while Herlings got caught in the gate, starting last. In 4-5 laps he half-tracks Barcia for the lead, dodges Bam-Bam's attempted Bamming, then rides away (being careful to make suspension notes to cure his unhappy fork settings) while Barcia hyperventilates himself through a sign like a scene from Smokey & The Bandit.
BUT, at the end, with Herlings sleepwalking the last lap, Barcia makes up 2 seconds, SO EVERYTHING IS FINE re Barcia vs Herlings??
Even better is the fact that afterwards Herlings looked barely winded, do I have it right?
Hey; I am USA all the way but let's remain sober: forget Herlings. Anything can happen in a race, as we all know, but straight-up nobody is going to run with Herlings. Just how it is.
ElsinoreRacer wrote: nobody is going to run with Herlings. Just how it is.
And therein lies the problem. Barcia isn´t convinced. Tomorrow he´s gonna try and beat the sand master and it´s going to go all tits up. He´s going to crash out what few brains he has. I always said Tomac would be a better choice.
I know who is faster and who isnt but it sure is fun arguing with Eurofagmike. That guy is a douchebag supreme.
Actually, no, Elsinore. Herlings is saying he got arm pump which if the racing had been 35 minutes long would not have been good at all. Barcia needs to get 2nd to Herlings, that is his job......finish as high up as possible if Herlings is out front. If he pumps up at 22 minutes tomorrow, he won't get top 5, so..... I don't count on that but it has got to be in his head now.....as he counts down to 19.....20.....21.....wondering if it is coming. But I'm not sure who anywhere said Barcia was beating Herlings based on gaining 2 seconds on the last lap. One thing is pretty amazing though, and that is that after all that time lost, Barcia still finished 6th.....passing Schiffer in the process......in a short race! Schiffer is the weak link in Team Germany who is one of the only teams with any chance against the U.S. Many GP fan-guys were counting on him to handle Barcia.
OK, The qualies are over, now where are the Team Press Confrences.
What are we, Chopped Mussels & Frites!!!
I wanna hear what the boys think of their New Litter Box after Day One...
When Euromike posts, I for some reason envision Dorothy clicking her red shoes together and repeating "There's no place like home". At some point he has convinced himself that the U.S. has no shot of winning the crown. Not a questionable shot, not a long shot.....no shot at all! It does make for an entertaining read.
Connection between Herling's arm-pump and apparently way-off front suspension settings?
You wouldn't think the settings between the 250 & 350 would be that different, but I guess at that level.
On that note.... 350's won 2 of the 3 heats today. And 2011/12 World Champs won all 3 motos.
We will likely win this thing, but here is hoping that my USA brethren will see that there are good guys all over, and that we will always be in a position to learn a thing or two. Tip of the hat to our worthy Euro friends and lets race clean tomorrow.
It's going to be fun, which is the point, yes? Not like we are curing cancer here.
I think we (euros) make these comments because americans ALLWAYS think they are the best in every race all the time. I think GP riders and AMA riders are about the same speed. The difference are the tracks and type off racing. I lived in the US and loved it, but I don't like the thinking "nothing but the US".
I can't wait to see some better pics/video of Barcia's superman seat bounce, that was awesome and hilarious!!
I don't get why RacerX had results of MX1 and MX2 several hours ago, but doesn't have MX3 posted. Yeah, I know I can go see them on MXGP, but why aren't they here? Celebrating early, boys?
im hoping the raceing is clean...i hope the top guys all start well and we get to see some top racing....
JB needs to just understand that beating herlins means riding the track way different....or crash as he found out...better to let him go!!
i think the guy that will put the biggest fight to him that wont let him go is TC222 twp fast sand riders that dont rereally have a team but will want to prove something to eachother...
at least one 350 KTM will leave metal shavings and oil in the sands of Lommel.....stamp it.
Jesus F-ing crist, It's Ken de Dyker....would you guys get it right. I lived in Europe for over 5 years. It's no wonder they call us "stupid americans". It's de Dyker. Now if a Euro mis-spelled an Americans name you guys would be all over it, criticizing him, but you think nothing of calling Ken de Dyker,
"dyker". Come on USA. Maybe you guys are all white trash, hillbilly's but don't show it here OK? For crying out loud.....

Nobody, but nobody is beating Tony today. Herlings 2 seconds slower in group 2, just in front of Leok. He should have stuck to the 250. He´s obviously not enjoying life on the big bike. Roczen in his own zone on the 250, with "weak link" MS up in 3rd. Goooooo Germany.
Well racin' is racin' and anything can and will happen. The comments on this thread are some good ones. Mostly civil even. I think that Motocross, to the public in general, over in Europe, is a bigger sport than here in the U S. We have too many one ball sport fans here. Therefore, with that in mind, I understand how they may get some of the impressions of us they do. I like to like people of all kinds, and think we should just be one group of people that like Moto and it shouldn't matter where we are from. We all share the same interest in watching dirt bikes being pushed to and beyond thier capabilities. And we all like to watch close, clean, racin'. Without injuries. Enuf of that. I haven't noticed anyone here saying what seems like the inevitable. The track is gonna change. Gonna get rough. Gonna be a different track altogether as the day goes by. Will make the riders work harder and therefore the strong will benefit. May change who is who. (without picking anyone rider) And the one thing that is certain-Nobody ever won the race with the fastest qualifying time. And there is always "The luck of the draw". But still being from the U S, I must say Go Team USA! Make us proud! Just a few comments from an American citizen whose ancestors came here from Europe. Like most of us! LOL
